Girls’ Generation Throws A Summer ‘PARTY’ In New Video

Girls' Generation is throwing a p-a-r-t-y this summer, and you're invited! The South Korean girl group has released the hyper-colorful video for their upbeat summer electro-pop anthem "PARTY," the group's ode to hanging out with your girlfriends, and the super-saturated visual is just as fun as the sugary, catchy song itself. As Tiffany asks in the fizzy intro, "Hey girls, do you know what time it is? It must be party time!"

In the bubbly clip, the lovely ladies of Girls' Generation jet off to Thailand for a sun-soaked, girly getaway in paradise. While there, the K-pop cuties frolic in their bikinis on tropical, white sandy beaches, play and lay in giant floaties in an aqua-drenched resort pool, sip soju and tropical drinks poolside, and bust loose in the club for some glittery nighttime dance-floor fun. There's also some palm tree lounging, jet skiing, and a reasonable amount of choreographed danced routines on the beach—in other words, it's absolutely everything you wish your summer would be. (if you were part of a super cute eight-member bubblegum-pop girl group, that is. Hey, we can dream, can't we?)

"PARTY"—which draws some sonic comparisons to another thumping summer anthem, Katy Perry's "California Gurls"—serves as the first of three Girls' Generation singles slated to drop ahead of the group's forthcoming new album. Keep an ear out for "Lion Heart" and "You Think," the next two tracks set to appear sometime over the summer. In the meanwhile, be sure to put this one on heavy rotation at your next girls' night out, okay?
